" The Most Serene Seignors the President 'and Members By the same Courier Extraordinary has been re ceived a dispatch from the Most Excellent Seignor Count DE Ti LLi, a Member of the - SUpreme Junta, which, in addition to the communication from his t.xcellency the General in Chief, mentions the ,de plorable situation to which the enemy has reEtred Ute town of Andujar. It is undoubtedly a matter of surprise, however well pra6tised these banditti are in the art of corruption, that there should be room to suspe& any, of the inhabitants of that place of disloyalty,,or adhering to the enemy. But should these suspicions be confirmed, they may well tremble at the example which this Supreme Autho rity is preparing, in order to satisfy the public, and .to prevent similar proceedings in other places which may have the misfortune to fall into the enemy's hands, This dispatch also contains the inventorjes of two magazines which the French left behind them at Andujar; but as it likewise mentions a third which there had not been time to examine, and as we are in etpe6tation of the still more fortunate results of a decisive alion, the whole of the requi site details will be subsequently communicated. JUAN BAUTIST4,PARDO, Secretary. SALAMANCA, JULY _26,—On SUnday, .the 21. th hist. at three o'clock in the afternoon, Gen. CUESTA entered this city with 600 cavalry and - Some artillery and 2mmunition waggons. We know not when he will leave us, nor whither he tiiill direst his march. The Supreme Junta of Seville has informed the said Captain General of Estretnudura, of the surrender of the army of .General DUPONT. The Portuguese Ambassador who was at Naples has this day arrived here on his way to Lisbon. According to letters from Madrid, that Capital appears' to be in a state of great discontent, and 'much greater alarm. In proportion as the inhabi tants are withdrawing from it, the French troops continue to assemble there. They already amount to-the number of 25,000. INote of the Corunna Editor—" As under the present cir cumstances, they have pot colleaed a greater number, it is a clear sign that the irresistible furee' is vanishing."] VILLA NOVA DE LA O.ELTRU, JULY s.—Though we do not receive any advices from Valencia, Arra gon, Castile; Asturias, or the kingdom of Galicia, . we have received a few letters from Malaga and Bil boa. We have also received a few letters by sea from Cadiz and 'Valencia; assuring, us,. that in the letter kingdom the l e alencians have:killedniore than 10,000 Frenchmen, and - taken upwards of 2600 'plisoners, belonging to three columns, whO Marched from Madrid wore than 15,000 strong._ At Barcelona we ha've disposed cif al_VOnt 7060 of them, including the wounded ; for, in consequence of the various skirmishes which have taken place Since the beginning, there are 5 to 'Clootiativiing of the total of their force, whb hai4r)i4een killed . or . made prisoners by oar peasantry. . The French at Barcelona do not now'exterid their excursions beyond two or three leagues - from the city; .and in these they plunder, kill, and commit They have not yet made theiPaPpearance here, • nor are we desirous of seeing them until we have completely organized in the principality about 50,000 Micaletes (smugglers) who are assembling from all the towns and villages in the environs. Of this bo dy, there are already embodied and 4nstrueted in the: use of arms from 5 to - GOOO, who, to-morrow, or the day after, without fail, will reach Molins de Rey, which is about two leagues from Barcelona. We expel_ from 10 to 12,000 infantry and ca valry from Mahon and Majorca. Of the infantry, the greater part are Catalonians who served under the command of the Captain-General Vives. It is • said that they are to embark to-morrow. PALENCIA, JULY 17.—0 n the 13th instant the French marched from this place 5,00 strong. On the following .day, they had an engagement with our army between Rio Seco atidNlacios; and the discharges of artillery and musketry were heard here, though seven - leagues distant. Yesterday 130 waggons With:wounded Frenchmen came in here; and this day more are expeged. 71*, may 4 relied pa as a fad, for I saw the waggpns come It is also certain that 'a French general was killed and another wounded. The Colo4l and Lieutenant- Colonel of 11122 d ileg"mrent of Cavalry were also filled; the same regiment lost 32 Pf4ers of in- f er i qr . rgplc, 44 4 -the. ipf4rwy had a 4r.pot nitirn4pr pr kiiied and wounded. Tt is a fa& that nothing is to be met with in the streets but wounded Frenchmen; and that both our hospitals are filled with them. At Rio Seco they massacred even the Monks and Nuns, and pillaged the town. MURCIA, JULY o.—This morning arrived here an express, which left Valencia at one o'clock yes terday, and this inst. (9 A. M.) another 'has arrived, with orders from the Captain-General of Valencia, to permit 1500 French prisoners, 'who are on their march to Carthagena, to pass without any molesta tion. We are at. this- moment occupied in celebrating the defeat of MONCEY, by the ringing of bells, masses, and discharges of artillery and musketry. BADAJOZ, JULY 22.—There are letters of a laie date from Ocana, which positively state that MTN CEY had- passed through that place for - Madrid, with little more than 1000 men, fatigued, and in com plete disorder. They were followed by 150 waggons, filled with wounded soldiers. ANDINUELA, JULY 22.—At two o'clock yester day the drums beat the generale, and we marched to occupy the heights of Fonzebadoo, where we passed the whole night in the most cheerful and contented manner, though there was a heavy rain in the evening. It appears that there was ,a slight skirmish between our advanced parties and those of the French, Who were compelled to retreat with some loss, and a good drubbing. At day-break this morning, we received orders to return to cur canton ments. PALEN'CIA, JULY 24.—0 n the day of San Buena ventura we were kept in a state of constant alarm, from five in the morning until about twelve at noon. During all this time nothing was to be heard but an uninterrupted cannonade in the dire&ion of Mon tealegre, Palacios, and the convent of Mattallana. After the battle the French, having first pillaged and _destroyed the places .just mentioned, entered the town 'of Rio Seco, where they committed the most horrid enormities, and killed an incalculable num ber of. people. Among these were five Franciscan Friars, five Carthelites, and three Dominicans. They cut off the hands of a Curate who sought to proteEt himself from outrage by elevating the host, robbed him of the cup, and threw away the sacred elements. It is impossible to ascertain the number of the French killed in the battle; but it is a fah that it is difficult to pass through those places on account Of the foetid smell of the dead bodies. From the 16th up to. this date, 150 waggons have passed through here, filled with their wounded, exclusive of those who still remain in Rio Seco. , The Hospital, the Infirmary, and the streets, are filled with' the wounded. Their army ,was one of the finest that France could . produce: They were all picked men. Their loss must have been very great ; for a reinforcement of 1400 men, who arrived here on the cad, had scarcely entered the place, When they received orders to proceed on their march. IrttiN, JULY 22.—We have learned, with the greatest satisfaolion, all that has passed in Galicia, to the29th of June. It has met with universal ap probation; and - the energy with which those brave defenders of the country have espoused the cause of our beloved FERDINAND VII. is celebrated with par ticular encomiums. In spite of all the artifices of the Emperor of the French, we are persuaded that he will never be able to accomplish his purpose. Let his Journalists say what they please, it .is certain that they do not talk in their usual haughty strain, and that they are very much chop-fallen. EVery where things are going on well. In this quarter we are all very tranquil. . The Emperor set out yesterday for Paris. • MADRID, JULY 23.---On the lath of this month, at twelve o'clock, was announced, by the discharge of artillery, which 'was riot at all attended to, and by the ringing of bells, which were scarcely heard for an instant, the approach of JOSEPI I. King 'of Spain. The bell-ringers wore thr - earened with se ! . . vere chastisement ; b u t th e y would not perform the duty required, During this important interval, pa-' troles of French, attended by cannon and ammu nition,. paraded the streets of the city to prevent dis order, by inspiring terror. On the 20th the new Monarch made his triumphal entry, with his officers and troops; a day for us the Most melancholy and distressing. Orders had been given that banners should be displayed from . . the windows ; but this command was not merely dis regarded, but all . the doors, windows, and-balconies were closed ; no one quitted his house, except in the neighbourhood of Puerto del Sol, some few, .to see; what was passing. At the time the. King ap proached any street where a few people might be colleted, orders were given to be uncovered, 'but instead of "obedience, the Spaniards turned their bails, and left the place. Not one dative compli mented the stranger with huzzas; some small num ber before ;he Royal carriage, hired for the purpose from among the adherents of France, grumbled rather than applauded, Sore few Frencli ,Courtiers _ followed rather to gain admittance to the Sovereign than to congratulate him on his reception. We were surprised and disgusted on seeing the acclamations and rejoicings with which JOSEPH was welcomed, according to false statements of the Ma drid 'Gazettes.—According to these, the streets were brilliantly illuminated, and filled with Grandees and company of high rank and distinaion : no such hibitions were admitted, and no persons of tides and honour were present, for scarcely an individual of family remained in the city to witness the ceremony. To-day it has been direaed that the Counsellors of State attend to swear allegiance to JOSEPH and his new-fangled Constitution. This ceremony is to be forced upon them. I am also informed that the same command has been given to the Secretaries, to comply with which they were very reluEtant ; but nothing would satisfy the Government : they were. constrained to assent, and in the same spirit every species of submission will be exaoled. I need not say in what degree such compliance is obligatory upon them. Orders have also been given for the display of ban ners, illuminations, free theatrical performances, and bull fights to-morrow. All the diversions will be for the French, for the people are too rnelancho. ly to partake of it, Great numbers leave the dis trid not to witness such scenes. Believe not a syllable that you read in the Madrid Gazettes; ail is iniquity, all is falsehood—nothing can be more contrary to the fait. It is reported that they are now engaged in print ing the new Constitution ; when it appears, it will be a new impulse to drive us from that languor to which we have so long ingloriously surrendered our selves. If it should be the consequence (which God forbid) that our Nobility should be destroyed, that our Grandees should be annihilated, we shall haves the felicity of French successors. The Gazette of the 13th, announces the decoration of a French Lord with the, honours of a Grandee of Spain. To indulge us still more with the blessing of French connection, we observe 'by the Constitution, that NAPOLEON is declared heir to the Spanish Crowii, as JOSEPH is announced successor to that of France. By a letter from that country, to the contents of which we are required to give our assent, eve are told, that our legitimate King, FERDINAND, is now in Paris. All our anxiety is, that the brave armies of Va lencia, Andalusia, and Galicia, may rid us of these infernal plagues. We have not an hour of comfort and repose, and are incessantly misled by contra diCtory intelligence. May God deliver us safely on the third day of * * *. AN ADDRESS TO HIS ARMY BY THE MUST EXCELLENT SEIGNOR D. FRANCIS XAVIER DE CISTANOS, COM MANDANT OF THE CAMP AT ST. ROCIIE, NOW GE NERAL-IN"-CHIEF OF TEE ARMY OF THE ANDA LUSIANS. " A man, upon whom flattery . and meanness alone have conferred the title of hero—a man full of ambition, and a petty band of slaves who, surround him, have formed the great project of silbjug at i ng us. Deception, perfidy, and treason, have hitherto .been the instruments of so ill-premeditated an en= terprise. The Spaniards will notibtless unite, and cause their most sacred rights to be respected.. We already know that many provinces and ctkrnmunities are animated with the same heroism which we our selves have displayed from the moment that the veil , was rent-asunder which covered ,this most iniquit ous projeal. It is extremely important, nay indis irnsable, that all of us should unite to secure the attainment of so noble an objet}. Each and. all ought to contribute all that lies in his power. This is an Obligation dictated by the heart from the mo went that we remark its first emotions: " Generous and heroic inhabitants of this.happy town, you require not the aid of eloquence to stimu late your ardent souls. You have given and are at this moment giving sufficient examples. Rush to the field of honour in quest of •' our brothers, who are soldiers by profession, that 'they may in struet you in the first elements of the military art, on which strength and vietory,principally depend. In the mean time be assured that your families will not be rednced to want or beggary. The opulent ranks of this place will 'provide for your subsistence. Fear not that the wealthy will spare their treasures. They will deposit all their services of plate in the . hands of the Government ; and when they eat and drink out of wooden spoons and earthen vessels, they will enjoy the pleasing satisfaCtion that those instruments of mere_luxury are destined to the de fence of our Religion, our King, our Country; and our Liberty. " Ministers of the •San6luary, be you the first to preach and to give the example of this important confidence. Be persuaded that both ecclesiastical and civil laws admit of selling the property of the Church in circumstances of such urgent necessity as the present. Convince the faithful that you are Penetrated with this genuine doctrine, which, in times not so calamitous, was taught by St. -Ber nard; for he said, it was not conformable with our holy. religion, that the ..Church should flourish in its possessions whilst her poor were neces sitous ; that she should decorate her walls with' gold, and abandon her children to nakedness.' " And you, Mothers, worthy of so many heroes, who know how to excite the most noble and heroic passions of the human heart, hasten to present to Government your jewels, your rings, and ornaments. Fear not the decay of your attractive graces—you will always be agreeable ; and though your exterior decorations should be less conspicuous, you will acquire such a degree of mental perfection. and he roism as,, to a;tract theesteetn of virtuous men, and to command respect em from the weak, the vi 7 ooui, and the rntoflimte 1 MAILS. ARRivao—l Dublin, i Waterford. MIE Cottenburgth f Dublin, t Waterford. THE SUN. &OLEN QUIS DICrRg EALSUId AUDEAT i Accounts have been received from Teneriffe , `which state, that as, soon as it was known there that the Royal Family of Spain had been trepanned t,4,l4aYonne, by R _UONAPARTE, and compelled to re° flcitinces,:_tioeir rights,- the inhabitants came to an no' nimotts resolution to resist the usurpation of BuoNTA• 14.11,TE.' All the French Merchants and Residents were put in prison, and a guard was placed over the French Consul, but he was permitted to reside in his own house. The intelligence which we yesterday had the Sa* liSfCiaioll to lay before our Readers, from Spain, en courages 1.1; to hope that, in a-very short time, the war between France and Spain will be a war of the Pyrenneas. The repeated failures of LEFEBVRE, in Arragon—the return of Marshal Mor,icer to Ma drid, with 2000 men, the remains of an army of :1; or i 6,000 men, with which he had a few weeks be fore quitted that City—and, finally, the surrender of General - - DwroNT, with an army of near 20,000 men, convinced Josgrrt of the necessity of quit,sing his new capital in one week after he had entered it. The retreat of BESSIERES was also a necessary con sequence of the surrender of DUPONT. By march ing to Burgos, BESSICRES will also secure the retreat ,of J . ,QWtt, who will probably take up his Head quarters at Vittoria, from which place he can with enettelfiee to France, if necessity should require it. Whatever sentiments of indignation the people of Spain, tray have .felt- when such 11---man - - JOSEFLI BUONAPARTE was appointed to rule over thenryithat indignation must have been greatly in creased:ll his condual after his arrival at Madrid. What must the high-minded Castilians have thought when they saw a man calling himself their King, • employed in pilfering from the Royal Palace the plate, and every article of value that be could carry away with him in his flight, WE have received some Spanish Papers, froth which we have extraeted several interesting details respecting the operations of Generals CAsterros and DUPONT, previous to the surrender of the latter. These Papers confirm the account of Gen. Cintfrtx having retired to Salamanca With a part of his ca= valry a few days after the Battle of Rio Seco. The Eipedition under Sir H.
